40-216 Front Cabinet Light - *Added a pic of a tag
#12

I don't think these models could tune TV sound off the air, but the TV receiver would rebroadcast the sound on an AM frequency so it could be picked up by an existing radio set. Some of the Philco phonographs would also do this, so there wasn't a need for audio amplifier and speakers.

It seems to me that Philco made a big deal about this. They put a yellow label in the rear of the cabinet saying it was TV ready and even put a "Tele Vision" label in the low frequency push button position as a default. Some radios I've bought still have that label in place, but that push button was just for a low frequency AM station if you didn't use it with your TV.
